Bad Word

Word-game rules

Bad Word is a PC word game where you spell words from letter tiles and send pressure to an opponent’s rack. Every four letters you play push one tile onto their rack, so longer words push more. The first rack to overflow loses. Words the game calls “bad” still count, but score half.

The game has timed play where you race the tiles, with modes based on 16 tiles, 32 tiles, or unique words. There’s also Zen, which removes the timer and rival so you can play with the tiles at your own pace.
